Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of (12) (3.0 g, 19.1 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (30 mL) was added NBS (5.10 g, 28.6 mmol), and benzoyl peroxide (0.12 g, 0.48 mmol). The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. The mixture was filtered through filter paper, and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was adsorbed into silica gel. The mixture was purified by chromatography on silica gel with 5 to 15% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 8-(1-bromoethyl)quinoline (13) (3.5 g, 14.8 mmol, 78% yield).
